Audley Livingston Sterling’s dash in the race of life began on 21st October 1954 and ended on 8th August 2024. “Babes” “Sterling” “Ginger,” “Manager,” “Manga,” “Sheriff” and “Boss Man” were some of the names by which Audley was affectionately called. The name Manager in particular, was given by his grandfather Daniel McIntosh due to his burly physique which portrayed the characteristics of someone managing the existing property on which he lived.

Audley was the third child for his father Wilmot Sterling and the first for Louise Sterling (wife of Wilmot).

His elementary education began at Salt Spring All Age School in St. James, Jamaica. In his later years, his Mum sent him to learn the trade of plumbing, however, this was short lived as he had no interest in this area. Subsequently, he ventured into the automotive industry where he honed his skills as an outstanding mechanic both in person and remotely and was always there to lend a helping hand to family and friends who needed his valuable assistance and advice.

In the early 1980’s, he migrated to the U.S.A. and lived in Connecticut for a number of years before moving to the “Sunshine State” of Florida.

On 25th November 2006 Audley married Charmaine. They had a harmonious and loving relationship. This union added three stepsons, Robin, Maurice and Dwayne to his two beautiful daughters Latoya & Corrine. As their “Daddy” he was the tower of strength and guidance in their lives and they spoke about him passionately.

He committed his life to the Lord and was baptized on 10th June 2007, he was a devoted member and Deacon of the “Jesus is Coming Evangelical Ministry” church.

Audley was a 21st century learner as he kept abreast of current affairs relating to politics, the economy, religion, climate change, globalization, music and sports. His analytical, journalism and culinary skills were quite astute.

God knew the long and arduous journey associated with his illness and called him home to rest. His legacy will forever be etched in the hearts of his beloved wife Charmaine, daughters Latoya and Corrine, 3 stepsons, Robin, Maurice & Dwayne, 7 siblings, 2 grandchildren Chyna & Mikey, 2 great-grandchildren, only surviving aunt Icy (Jamaica), mother and father-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, several nieces and nephews, cousins, church family and a host of friends.

An irreplaceable limb from our family tree has been broken. Rest in peace dear husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Your love, laughter and kindness will be deeply missed but not forgotten!
